Students coming from third countries who wish to study in Switzerland longer than 3 months must have national visa.

In addition it enables studies in many different European languages. International students in Switzerland are allowed to work 15 hours per week during semesters and full time during study breaks. Students coming from third countries can start working after 6 months of studies and once they obtain work permit.

Elena helped us to fulfill our dreams so I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is thinking of studying and living in Australia. She was extremely professional during the whole procedure and visa application so it was my pleasure to work with her.
Future Option met all our expectations. My husband and I were not sure whether it would be possible to get a student visa. However, they made every effort to ensure that all documents were in the best order. Even now, when we got the visa, Future Option team provides us support and is available for all the questions we have. Best recommendations for this agency!
Last year Elena helped me to enroll the University of the Queensland, she was so responsible person and helped me with the whole procedure.
I am really satisfied with Elena's professional approach. Her support, counseling and commitment were on a very high level through the whole process of gathering documents and visa application.
Elena is a wonderful person who was patently answering on all questions and who was not giving false hope. She was always positive and trustworthy.
Very professional, quick in processing all documents, available on the phone and via email at any time, responsive and pleasant to work with!
